Hi Ladies.
Im finally home after my week away lounging in the sun minus the boys!!!!
What a week. I had forgotten what its like to be free of the children.....and TBH I HATED IT!!!!!
I missed my boys soooooo much. The rest was just what I needed but I spent most off my time thinking how much the boys would have enjoyed themselves. I was so convinced that they would really enjoy it at the resort, that we have booked a return trip in August.
J coped really well with out us and had a fantastic time with my sister down on the farm. He collected the eggs everyday from the chicken coop, went riding, bottle fed the baby lambs and basically enjoyed being a farmer for the week.
My sister really enjoyed having the guys stay with her and she said it made her understand just how much J's ASD affects his day to day life and just how restraining it can be for us as a family.
Back home, washing machine is gurgling away and my boys are tucked up fast asleep in their own beds. This holiday was the best thing for me. It made me realise that despite J's problems in life I am truely blessed to have such a wonderful little guy. Having spent the last week watching other children play and not being too impressed by some of the actions I have seen performed by some of the NT kids around, I wouldnt swop him for the world.
Off to sip my duty free now.....just so glad to be back.
